Launch Projectile

Use Launch Projectile on a compatible LivingEntity receiver.

Where to find it

Call Method → Target Object: LivingEntity or a compatible subtype → Choose Operation → Movement & Navigation. Requires Dev access to configure, then a successful compile to activate.

Inputs

Input	Type	Role	Requirement	Default / constraint
Projectile Type	String	Value	Required	Required
Velocity	Vector	Value	Required	Required

Result and behavior

Applies its behavior to the configured receiver; it does not create a separate value-result destination.

Configuration example

Block: Call Method
Operation: Launch Projectile
Target Object: LivingEntity target in this plot
Projectile Type: example
Velocity: Vector (0, 1, 0)

Use this as an editor configuration: declare any Variables/collections first and choose real locations/eligible targets for your plot. It is not pasteable source code.

Restrictions and troubleshooting

The receiver must satisfy the declared native capability and remain eligible for the running plot. Player actions require an appropriate Play participant; a Build/Dev player is not automatically eligible.

Runtime validation: Unsupported projectile type.

Runtime validation: Projectile velocity exceeds limit.
